Deleted Skype account still appearing online to contacts

I went through the process of having my account deleted a few days ago, I can of course no longer log into the account, however contacts of that account are saying that I am now appearing constantly online but set as away. 
I'm sure I deleted all personal information from my account, though I know I didn’t delete any contacts. I have spoke with Skype staff via the instant chat box but they are never of much help, they have said that my account will delete itself from my previous contacts contact lists, I thought this wasn’t true?
Has anyone else deleted their account and had this problem? Did you find you started appearing offline once that deletion was completed (takes 30s days)? Thank you!

  • Delete skype accounts that are no longer in use.

    Hi
    We use skype at our company for communicating with clients. Over the years some of our employees have left but their skype accounts are still searchable. We have had cases where customers are not aware that the employee has left and leave messages on their skype accounts which never get answered. I would like to know how to delete/remove these accounts from the directory so they are no longer searchable.
    I have tried the link on the support page but it gives me an error saying that the chat is not available and the only other option is to post here in the forums.
    Please help, I have been trying for a month now to get rid of these old accounts.

    Hi, ReneEIT, and welcome to the Community,
    Thank you for reporting you have experienced problems reaching Skype Customer Service; Skype is aware of these problems.  I have flagged your report for review by those to whom I report.
    You are correct; you will need to contact Skype Customer Service in order to remove/disable these old accounts.  You did not mention if you use a Skype Manager configuration; if you do, here is a link to the instruction on how to disable un-used accounts:  https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA559/how-do-i-remove-members-from-my-skype-manager?
    The next time you try to reach Skype Customer Service, try using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented even if they don't exactly match what you need to do.  Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.
    Regards,
    Elaine

  • Skype account always showing online

    Hello,
    I have skype installed on my Windows 8 system and even when I logout from my account and sign in with my friend's account I am still showing online. How do I know from which devices or locations I am signed in. I have a smart phone but I am not signed in it as well. So just want want to make sure that the account hasn't been hacked.

    possibly just some delay in updating the other account's contact list (contacts' current online status in particular).  When that happen next time, try to send a message to your account.  Most likely the message will not be delivered and you will eventually appear as offline after a couple of seconds.

  • Theft of phone and skype account still being used!...

    Hi.
    My wifes phone was stolen on th 19th of April during a camping trip.
    We reported the theft to the police.
    I have gone onto skype today, and the account is still being used.
    My wife said the only two places skype is installed is on her stolen phone and on her laptop, which isn't on at the moment as she is at work!!
    So whoever stole the phone is using the skype account right now!!!
    I need to find out the IP addresses that have been logged against the user [Redacted for privacy] since the 19th of April.
    I have tried to email support, but the contact form keeps giving an error, so please someone respond as soon as possible so I can relay info to the police please!!
    Kind regards,
    Glenn.

    Hi, Glenn, and welcome to the Community,
    These two commands, when entered into a chat window, may prove helpful:
    /remotelogout
    Sign out all other instances except the current one. This will also stop push notifications on all other instances.
    /showplaces
    Lists other instances where this Skype name is currently signed in.
    Important: Always make sure you are using the latest version of Skype. Some of these commands may not be supported in older versions.
    Here is a link to the original FAQ article:
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10042/what-are-chat-commands-and-roles?
    If your wife still has access to her account, she should consider signing on to her account details and removing any saved payment methods on file. 
    Skype does not release IP addresses except upon request from law enforcement agencies, who can file to receive this information via official channels.
    Regards,
    Elaine

  • Deleted calendar items still appearing on iPhone

    Calendar items deleted on the PC (Outlook 2003 or Entourage 2008 - 12.1.7, - both linked to Exchange Server 2007) remain in the iPhone (OS 2.2.1) calendar. I am using wireless Exchange ActiveSync.
    It was working fine, but has now stopped removing deleted items.
    Calendar items added on the iPhone show up in Outlook/Entourage, so no problem in this area.
    I have tried turning 'off' the Calendar on the iPhone, then turning in 'on', allowing it to re-sync, but this has not solved the problem. My MobileMe accounts are all fine.
    I had Xerox DocuShare client add-on installed on Outlook 2003, but this was installed well before the problem appeared. It have uninstalled it, just to be sure, but the issue was not resolved.
    I am mystified as to why this issue should appear. Any ideas? Thanks in anticipation.

    Thanks for the suggestion Allan.
    I deleted the Exchange account and recreated it. Unfortunately the deleted items still appear.
    I thought it may be linked to the deletion of single occasions of repeating events, but the failure of single events to delete from the iPhone is also apparent. I appreciate the help.

    Dear Master , anyone know for a  Sales Order been deleted but the Demand still appear on MD04, I even tried as below but still no solution
    -  ran report SDRQCR21 in SE38 that cleared up the demand.
    - Try rerunning MRP with planning mode 3

    Thank you.

    1) Please check any Open delivery is exist for the order, if yes delete the Delivery
    2) Close the order by order rejection
    3) run SDRQCR21 in SE38 with data transfer , planning file entry and  processing per material tick
    4) This will remove the planning file entry and demand and run MRP
    5) If problem still exist , then raise a Question  to SAP with the help of Basis

  • Deleted Mail Account Still Sending Mail

    Hi Apple World,
    Can anyone explain to me why an old gmail account which I used to have as an account on my Mac is still sometimes coming up as the from address when I send mail?
    This has got me in some trouble as people have been "replying" and I have not received it as it goes to my gmail which I do not use. So my boss now thinks I just havent replied! I checked my sent box and sure enough it says sent from [email protected] however the only account I have are a [email protected] and my icloud account.
    I have deleted the gmail account entirely from google but can anyone explain how this may have happened as I have deleted other accounts off my mail and would like to make sure I don't have to worry about them.
    Cheers,
    Linda
